I know it is a pain in the ass to clean but if your pads are throwing dust at least you know they are working.

Depends if you are doing any track work but I am a big fan of the pagids and also the ferodo.

For normal use try the ferodo 2000 or pagid black.

For a bit of track work try the ferodo 2500

If you are the last of the late brakers try either the ferodo 3000 or pagid blues.

Perth Brake Parts in Welshpool are the way forward.

The last two are pretty aggressive on rotors though.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Brendon

Yep second what Brendon said.
For an economical option for non track applications add Bendix Ultimates. Not a fan of Endless products.

Have a look at the summary from DBA Steve:
MRT's DBA Brake Clinic

I use and trust Pagid Blue RS-42 pads with DBA rotors, they are tested and have compatible metallurgy as confirmed by numerous sources.i.e. Phillip Joseph the MD of DBA/MRT/Possum Bourne and even my Mum thinks they are pretty bloody good
It will take a few dozen similar testimonials regarding Endless pads and DBA Rotors before I become a fan.
